What's your music player of choice?

Well?
I currently use iTunes because I'm tied to it because of my iPhone. I just realized, however, that just because I have to have iTunes to sync the computer with the iPhone, I don't *have to* listen to music on the PC using iTunes.

I also use Last.fm and their app works fine on my system except for one thing: to start, it requires an ok via UAC. Now, since it launches itself automatically as soon as I start iTunes, I have to "approve" Last.fm's launch each time I do so. Pretty annoying!

The ideal solution would be to find a player that has native Last.fm support, and while they're out there, they're not very easy to find. I know Albumplayer has native support, but that's shareware and not what I'm looking for anyway.

So, what do you use as your music player? Secondly, if you know of any players with native Last.fm support as well as Vista compatibility, let me know.

I currently use foobar (http://www.foobar2000.org/) on Windows and Amarok (http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download) on Linux. Foobar has a plugin with native last.fm support, so no need to install last.fm player. Another alternative is musikCube (http://www.musikcube.com/) on Windows. Foobar and musikCube work on Vista, but I am not sure if all the plugins are fully compatible.

foobar is good but can be a little complex to set up to your liking. Its customizability is superior to any other music player. musikCube has a much easier and just works out of the box, much like iTunes.
